The correct Answer is:
To determine which element in the second period forms the most acidic oxide, we will analyze the properties of the oxides formed by the elements in the second period: Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Fluorine (F). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements in the Second Period:** The elements in the second period of the periodic table are: - Lithium (Li) - Beryllium (Be) - Boron (B) - Carbon (C) - Nitrogen (N) - Oxygen (O) - Fluorine (F) 2. **Understand Acidic Oxides:** Acidic oxides are oxides that react with water to form acids. They typically come from non-metals and have higher electronegativity. 3. **Analyze the Oxides:** - **Li2O (Lithium Oxide)**: Basic oxide. - **BeO (Beryllium Oxide)**: Amphoteric oxide. - **B2O3 (Boron Oxide)**: Acidic oxide. - **CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)**: Acidic oxide. - **N2O5 (Dinitrogen Pentoxide)**: Acidic oxide. - **O2 (Oxygen)**: Not an oxide in this context. - **F2O (Oxygen Difluoride)**: Acidic oxide. 4. **Compare Acidity:** - Among the oxides listed, CO2, N2O5, and B2O3 are acidic. - However, as we move from left to right across the periodic table, the acidity of oxides generally increases due to increasing electronegativity. 5. **Determine the Most Acidic Oxide:** - Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element and forms the oxide OF2, which is also acidic. - Comparing the acidic nature of CO2, N2O5, and OF2, OF2 is the most acidic due to the high electronegativity of fluorine. 6. **Conclusion:** The most acidic oxide in the second period is formed by Fluorine (F), making option A the correct answer. ### Final Answer: **The most acidic oxide in the second period is formed by Fluorine (F).** ---
